AstroBoy Online Forums

I'm very certain that nothing bad is really going to happen. I'm pretty sure they're just helping Vertical with investments. And I suppose having them, they might be able to have a larger selection with Kodansa's title catalog.

"History" only works on actual visited pages.

I have never seen a site that had those screenshots before, so it wouldn't work. And even then, I have to wonder if those were taken from youtube.

Despite the bad quality, I am rather certain that it is 1980 Astro. However it doesn't ring a bell to me. If you have a video I am interested. The creation of Astro Boy in the 1980's series was completely different, not to mention that Tobio in it looked more alike to Astro, whereas he looks more s...

My thread subscription apparently ended for some reason, so I didn't notice the replies...

Thanks everyone.

I'm trying to understand if this means there could be more titles available in the US in the future...? :confused: Apparently, they're still going to publish titles in America, including non-Kodansa titles.

This looks strangely similar to one of the Jetter Mars episodes in which Tenma cameos (along with a throwback to Astro's origin), particularly Tobio's outfit in that first picture. Like F-Man said, what's the source? If it's in Japanese I might be able to help translate some of it. I'm not too cert...

Well, like I said on SJ, I think more than just three years had passed in the original.

...Eh, decided to post here about an update after all... Page 6 is up. http://lifeanddeathmightyatom.smackjeeves.com/comics/1125794/page-6/ I hope I never have to draw grass like that again. Also I can't wait to finish Page 7, as it'll be Tenma's last appearance, he isn't exactly easy. ...Then again...
